METHUEN — On Friday, Dec. 6, the third annual Michael P. Ippolito Memorial fundraising event will be held at Methuen High School, with seven high school jamboree-style hockey teams playing four games.
Ready to play are boys teams Methuen, Tewksbury, Wilmington and Bedford, and girls squads Methuen/Tewksbury, Shawsheen Tech/Bedford and Wilmington/Stoneham.
The first game will feature the Tewksbury boys against Bedford at 6 p.m. That will be followed by the Wilmington/Stoneham girls playing Shawsheen/Bedford at 7 p.m. and then Tewksbury/Methuen at 8 p.m. The last game will feature the Wilmington boys against Methuen at 9 p.m.
Ippolito was a popular sportswriter for the Wilmington and Tewksbury Town Crier. He spent 20 years at the paper, and was a freelancer for the Lowell Sun. He passed away in September 2022. He is survived by his wife, Lisa, and their boys, Michael and Adam.
The money raised will be used for six scholarships, in memory of Ippolito, going to two seniors from Tewksbury, Wilmington and Shawsheen Tech.
There is no admission fee. There will be many gift baskets to be raffled off and several 50-50 raffles, with 100 percent of the proceeds going to the Michael P. Ippolito Memorial Fund.
